ZAH-RAH PAH-LEEN!!!!

I keep meaning to post about this:

On July 4, I was walking down the street and this totally homeless looking, wild-eyed guy was walking toward me, muttering to himself. When he passed me, he looked up at me and exclaimed "ZAH-RAH PAH-LEEN!!!!?!!!" and kept walking. I was like, "what the?" I thought about what he said, and as I often have to do, in my head I translated the phonetic sound to the corresponding Spanish letters to spell out what he said.

The result?

Sarah Palin.

Seriously, what the???? When I got home, I told Neil about this strange encounter. He didn't miss a beat, and looked at me and said, "it's because of your glasses."

I'm too lazy to take a new picture, but these are the glasses I was wearing:

And, in case you needed a visual (this is the ONLY time you will EVER see this woman's mug on my blog):What do you think? Yeah, me neither.

About Me

Welcome!
I'm a Half-Breed Outlaw.
My husband, Neil, is not.
That makes our daughters Nile and Pilar one quarter-breed outlaws. Or three-quarters breed outlaws. Depending on how you look at it.
Hailing from the great states of Virginia (me) and Arizona (him), we spent 2 of our first years of marriage in Buenos Aires, Argentina, followed by 3 years in Gaborone, Botswana. We've lived in Bern, Switzerland, since May 2014 and will relocate to parts as-yet-unknown to us in 2017!
I am not a writer, by any means.
But I like to blog about our life.
Enjoy! -Megan
